My company has an algorithm for knowing when something is risky to
implement and use: when I say "hey, that's cool". If you want to follow
their wisdom, you shouldn't add __max__ and __min__...

My first though was "What use could that be?" and my second was "Yey! We
can implement lattices *right* in Python! Cool!", but I don't see any
place it's needed <0.9 wink>
